In reply to: I have no idea why he only has one shoe on.
norushmore....I agree also that there is a lot in this anchor, however I can say it only took a few minutes to construct....
cadaverchris.... yep, I can see where you may think the purple alien looks suspect, but as Phil pointed out, the nature of the rock made it very secure :wink: .... I would have been happy to fall on each of those two pieces alone....
I also agree that I sometimes belay off my harness, however I always carry prussiks and have enough experience to have the myself seperate from the system quick enough to deal with an injured climber.... It would definately be better to belay from the powerpoint....
alpnclmbr1.... Agreed on the potential static load on the belay if I were to climb above it and fall, however in this scenario I would never have had to climb up from here. To eliminate the static load, attaching to the powerpoint with the rope would have been better.... I am still unsure why new gear would be a problem here though.... Both Phil and I replace draws when they get old.... don't you?
newbie.... you watch it girl.... :P :wink:

I pretty much always belay off of my harness. Escaping the belay is a moot issue for a reasonably competent team.
As far as the new gear comment. The biners were were creating a glare on my laptop sceen.
